The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This was a good book.  It technically had all the pieces I was looking for, but it felt like it didn't quite have the emotional depth I was looking for.  Especially when it came to the ending.  
The ending felt rushed and like it was focusing on the wrong person.   Arent was the one who was betrayed and yet we were focusing on Sara's perspective.  It just felt a bit shallow emotionally.
